    So what is the biggest difference between the generation 2 and generation 3 pmags?

    I have a backorder of some generation 2 non-window and I am just curious...thanks.

    After using both the biggest practical difference I notice is that I can (and do) put ranger plates on my Gen2 mags but they don't have any for the Gen3 yet.

    Ok. I see the pictures in the OP, but then I was reading..."new" and "old" style generation 3, so I am not sure if that was a comparison of generation 3 or generation 2 vs generation 3.

    Lots of choices for pmags, apparently

    Found this on the DSG Arms site for Generation 3 Pmags:

    Battle-hardened by over 5 years of combat experience, the PMAG evolution is marked by a long list of improvements, but here are some of the highlights of the new GEN M3 that are changes from the current design:

    -Stronger in all tests over the current PMAG (feedlip impact, spine strength, side impact, hot/cold durability, etc.)
    -Geometry and new low-drag follower design changes to increase reliability in extreme adverse conditions, including dusty environments.
    -Now fully compatible with HK 416, FN SCAR, SA 80, et.al., with new bolt catch geometry and an over-insertion stop on the spine of the magazine for full functionality with all platforms.
    -Now drop-free compatible with magazine wells on the tighter side of acceptable tolerance, and has a reinforced mag catch area for greater durability and compatibility with various mag catch tolerances.
    -A slimmer floorplate for increased pouch compatibility comes standard, along with improved water drainage.
    -Improved texture on the front and rear for more positive handling under stress.
    -Recessed paint pen dot matrix for magazine marking that will not abrade off under handling or cleaning.

    Please note that the PMAG Ranger will NOT work with the new GEN M3. It will be getting its own Ranger design and we’ll provide more info as it becomes available. Basically, GEN M3 accessories/components will only work with GEN M3 magazines, including its Impact/Dust Cover.
    I'm assuming this is comparing the generation 3 to the generation 2...unless the really is some sort of "new" generation 3 and "old" generation 3?

    That's GEN M2 to GEN M3. Only one version of GEN M3. Our blog and the PMAG pages on the website have some good explanations of the differences, and if you download the PDF of our 2013 catalog, there's lots of info.

    A decent priced 40 rounder (like 20-30 bucks) that is just as reliable as the other pmags..... i bet people would be running those more then surfire 60 rounders.

    Fantastic, thanks! Can't wait for them to arrive...of course, whenever they become un-backordered

    Never heard a bad thing about pmags....I just wanted to try a batch to complement my aluminum usgi mags.
